Cultured Perl: Fun with MP3 and Perl, Part 1

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-have-no-culture dept.

Ted writes "Every self-respecting computer and music fan needs to be able to manipulate MP3s -- the defacto standard for recreational digital music use. In this article, I'll look at ways to manage and manipulate MP3s (searching, tagging, renaming, commenting, etc.) using the autotag.pl application. I'll also take you through the application, illustrating how CPAN modules enable the application."

    Really? I had no idea! What's next, the Internet on computers? Man, that would be cool, maybe they could put dancing hamsters on it.

    Why can't I moderate something "Wrong" or at least "Grossly Misinformed"?
  4. Tagging my ass... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    ID3v1 tagged before the MP3 stream. ID3v2 tagged behind the MP3 stream.

    And in celebration of inconsistency: ID3v3 will put it's tag in the fucking middle of the broken-to-be MP3 stream.

    BTW... cddb (and it's free counterpart) DON'T(!) need ID3vX to identify anything correctly.
